INTRODUCTION 

To  commemorate  in  picture  and  story,  the  Herculean 
task  accomplished  by  the  Army  Transport  Service  in 
embarking  our  army  for  France — and  bringing  them  back 
-I  have  collected  the  pictures  published  herein  and 
compiled  a  brief  history  of  the  activities  of  those  officers 
and  men  who  were  detailed  here  during  the  greatest  of 
wars  in  the  hope  that  it  will  help  to  keep  up  the  enthu- 
siasm which  has  always  been  so  pronounced,  and  to  ce- 
ment the  friendships  here  formed,  that  the  dampening 
effects  of  time  and  failing  memory  cannot  obliterate  the 
record  of  this  port  or  cause  the  members  of  the  staff 
when  widely  separated  to  forget  the  names  or  faces  of 
their  comrades  during  the  period  spent  here. 

There  was  no  greater  feat  accomplished  during  the 
war  than  that  of  shipping  nearly  2,000,000  soldiers  to 
France  and  it  is  with  pride  that  I  shall  long  recall  the 
work  done  here  and  the  many  true  friends  I  made  while 
a  member  of  the  command. 

In  this  volume  there  is  to  be  found  a  picture  of  nearly 
every  officer,  field  clerk,  enlisted  man,  female  clerk  and 
civilian  who  served  here  during  the  war,  together  with 
a  brief  narrative  of  the  task  accomplished.  To  pro- 
cure the  large  number  of  pictures  here  published,  I  am 
indebted  to  William  Metz,  Underwood  and  Underwood, 
The  International  News  Service,  Western  Newspaper 
Union,  Hughes  and  Estabrook,  and  others  who  have 
assisted  in  securing  photos  for  me. 

In  closing  allow  me  to  voice  an  expression  of  my  ap- 
preciation of  the  friendships  formed  here  and  the  splen- 
did cooperation  always  accorded  by  all.  It  has  been  a 
source  of  great  satisfaction  to  have  known  these  men 
and  I  shall  always  hold  the  memories  of  my  service  at 
the  Port  of  Embarkation  as  among  the  happiest  of  my 

life, 

KING  W.  SXELL.

WITH         THE         ARMY         AT         HOBOKEN 


THE  DEVELOPMENT  AND  GROWTH  OF  THE   EMBAR- 
KATION SERVICE 

A  Concise  Report  Covering  the  Shipment  of  Nearly  2,000,000 
Soldiers  to  France 

When  President  Wilson  affixed;  hi£  .sigaature.J©'  the 
Declaration  of  War  on  Germany  iii.AipHl  "df«  i9iy,!there 
immediately  arose  many  problems- Df  ^u^h-.m^grthu-de^ con- 
cerning the  preparations  for  an ''ex^r/decf  foreign' cam- 
paign that  it  was  difficult  to  conceive  at  once  how  and 
what  the  result  would  be. 

Not  the  least  of  these  problems  was  the  necessity  of 
creating  an  adequate  transport  service  for  the  carriage 
of  troops  and  supplies  to  the  field  of  operations,  for  it  is 
an  obvious  fact  that  foreign  campaigns  cannot  be  carried 
to  a  successful  culmination  without  a  sufficient  force  of 
men  on  the  ground,  and  these  at  a  time  when  they  are 
needed.  It  was  apparent  that  such  a  division  of  our 
service  must  be  organized  with  the  least  possible  delay 
and  in  such  magnitude  as  to  insure  the  transportation  of 
an  army  to  France,  comparable  in  force  to  those  of  the 
belligerent  nations  which  fortunately  had  not  to  con- 
tend, with  few  exceptions,  with  the  problem  of  shipping 
troops  by  sea,  a  matter  of  three  thousand  miles.  It  was 
a  problem  which  overshadowed  all  other  great  problems 
of  history;  so  great,  in  fact,  that  the  successful  culmina- 
tion of  the  transport  service  has  been  the  wonder  of  the 
entire  world,  the  Imperial  German  Empire  included.  It 
was  a  problem  indeed,  but  American  common  sense, 
coupled  with  American  money  and  American  enterprise, 
saw  it  through  to  a  finish,  and  we  may  now  rest  on  the 
record,  proud  in  the  fact  that  America  was  the  greatest 
factor  in  bringing  the  war  to  a  close  on  the  side  of  hu- 
manity and  the  principles  which  we  have  guarded  so 
zealously  since  our  birth  as  an  independent  nation  back 
in  1776. 


WITH        THE        ARMY        AT        HOBOKEN 

To  the  organization  and  development  of  an  adequate 
transport  service,  Congress  at  once  set  itself  to  work  de- 
vising plans  for  the  time  when  the  United  States  would 
have  an  army  of  men  sufficient  in  size  to  be  felt  among 
the  armies  of  the  Allies  on  the  firing  line.  The  small  but 
efficient  regular  army  maintained  in  the  United  States  and 
insular  possessions  was  obviously  the  only  troops  then 
fitted  to  meet  the  exigencies  of  actual  combat,  but  even 
with  «&0,.sjmalL  a  .f pr.qe  ;the  existing  transport  service  was 
all  toc:  limited*  tb>b'ec0me  a  factor  in  the  transportation 
of  troops  :tp; -the  ,-th.ea-tre" -,of  operations. 

dur'statect"robp9,:-a*vl'arge  majority  of  which  had  been 
through  the  Mexican  Border  campaign,  added  to  the 
regular  army,  furnished  a  strong  basis  upon  which  to 
found  and  train  an  army  for  modern  warfare,  and  a  vig- 
orous movement  was  started  toward  the  training  of  these 
troops  for  foreign  service.  A  short  time  later  the  Selec- 
tive Draft  machinery  was  placed  in  actual  operation,  thus 
furnishing  several  hundred  thousand  more  men,  un- 
trained it  is  true,  but  nevertheless  an  army,  which,  in 
view  of  the  events  of  the  last  six  months  of  the  war, 
proved  to  be  a  strong  factor  in  the  settlement  of  interna- 
tional differences  in  France.  At  that  time,  however,  the 
problem  of  shipping  was  still  unsolved,  and  it  was  a 
question  as  to  when  ships  could  be  provided  to  transport 
such  a  force  to  foreign  soil. 

I  speak  of  these  features  of  our  service  in  order  to 
make  plain  by  simple  deduction  the  extent  of  the  prep- 
aration which  must  be  accomplished  if  we  were  to  safely 
land  in  Europe  this  army  of  a  million  or  more  men.  It 
was  not  a  pleasant  outlook,  with  the  shipping  of  the  world 
effectually  tied  up  with  the  transportation  of  supplies  to 
the  armies  already  in  France,  and  the  submarine  warfare 
then  at  the  apex  of  its  despicable  power  menacing  every 
ship  which  plied  the  high  seas. 

To  overcome  these  obstacles  meant  that  the  United 
States  must  at  once  create  a  transport  fleet,  man  it  with 
naval  officers  and  seamen,  and  establish  ports  of  embarka- 
tion with  staffs  competent  to  insure  the  least  delay  in  the 


WITH    THE    ARMY    AT    HOBO  KEN 

shipment  of  troops.  These,  perhaps,  were  the  most  ob- 
stinate points  to  surmount,  but  the  wealth  of  detail  which 
arose  in  connection  was  in  itself  no  small  problem. 

By  the  time  the  first  troops  were  ready  for  movement 
overseas,  the  department  had  a  well-formulated  plan 
for  the  organization  of  an  efficient  transportation  sys- 
tem, the  operation  of  which  was  somewhat  changed  in 
its  essential  details  during  the  months  following  the  first 
troop  movement  overseas.  It  was  apparent  from  the  be- 
ginning that  a  thoroughly  organized  office,  operating  on 
business  principles  and  with  a  tangible  end  in  view,  must 
needs  be  placed  in  operation  at  once. 

To  properly  grasp  the  situation,  it  is  necessary  to  turn 
back  to  the  early  days  of  the  war  when  the  Army  Trans- 
port Service,  Port  of  New  York,  was  a  branch  of  the 
Depot  Quartermaster  Office,  Colonel  John  M.  Carson, 
Q.M.C.,  holding  the  dual  position  of  Depot  Quarter- 
master and  General  Superintendent  of  the  Army  Trans- 
port Service.  As  assistants,  Colonel  Carson  had  Cap- 
tain (now  Lieutenant  Colonel)  L.  B.  Cabell,  Q.M.C., 
and  Captain  N.  J.  Shelton,  U.S.A.,  Retired,  who  had  the 
direct  supervision  of  the  Transportation  Division.  A 
small  office  force  constituted  the  personnel,  but  it  soon 
became  apparent  that  radical  changes  and  additions  in 
strength  were  necessary  in  order  to  insure  the  success 
of  the  extensive  plans  already  well  worked  out. 

With  this  end  in  view  Captain  W.  B.  Baker,  U.S.A., 
Retired,  and  Captain  Michael  J.  Powers,  Q.M.C.,  both 
experienced  in  transportation  problems,  were  ordered  to 
active  duty  in  this  division  and  in  June  Major  R.  E. 
Shannon  (now  Lieutenant  Colonel),  Q.M.C.,  and  Cap- 
tain Frank  Bowman  supplemented  the  personnel,  which 
was  literally  swamped  with  the  numberless  details  of 
making  read  for  the  extensive  troop  movement  which 
it  was  expected  would  begin  within  a  month. 

Later  the  office  of  the  General  Superintendent  was 
separated  from  that  of  the  Depot  Quartermaster,  with 
Colonel  Carson  remaining  as  General  Superintendent. 
The  changes  which  followed  placed  Major  Shannon  in

charge  of  the  Transportation  Division  with  Captains 
Shelton  and  Powers  as  assistants,  and  a  force  of  five 
clerks.  A  further  change  was  then  made,  placing  Cap- 
tain J.  F.  Coggswell  in  charge  of  embarkation  from 
Cunard  Piers  and  Captain  George  W.  Knight  those  of 
the  International  Mercantile  Marine  piers,  both  officers 
being  under  the  jurisdiction  of  Captain  Shelton.  This 
plan  of  assigning  certain  officers  over  embarkation  from 
particular  piers  proved  its  merit  early  in  the  year,  the 
officers  so  assigned  being  able  to  gain  a  peculiar  work- 
ing knowledge  of  the  physical  conditions  and  personnel 
at  their  respective  piers. 

Shortly  after  this  time  Major  General  David  C. 
Shanks  was  ordered  to  duty  as  Commanding  General, 
Port  of  Embarkation,  and  remained  in  command  during 
the  heaviest  movement  of  troops  to  France.  General 
Shanks  later  took  command  of  the  newly  formed  i6th 
Division,  being  relieved  by  Brigadier  General  Wil- 
liam V.  Judson,  who  was  relieved  temporarily  by 
Brigadier  General  George  H.  McManus,  who  is  now 
in  charge  of  the  Troop  Movement  Office,  the  several 
officers  under  his  jurisdiction  having  direct  supervision 
of  the  embarkation  and  debarkation  of  troops  from  all 
ports  under  the  jurisdiction  of  these  headquarters.  After 
the  signing  of  the  armistice  Major  General  Shanks  again 
assumed  command,  a  position  he  now  holds,,  although  he 
is  temporarily  in  Europe  in  an  official  capacity.  During 
General  Shanks'  absence  Brigadier  General  P.  W.  Davi- 
son,  executive  officer,  is  in  command. 

The  first  organization  of  the  Army  to  sail  overseas 
after  the  declaration  of  war  by  the  United  States  was 
Base  Hospital  No.  4  (the  Lakeside  Hospital  Unit  of 
Cleveland,  Ohio),  which  sailed  on  the  S.S.  "Orduna"  of 
the  Cunard  Line  on  May  8,  1917,  with  a  personnel  of 
34  officers,  156  enlisted  men,  64  nurses  and  4  civilians. 
This  was  closely  followed  by  Base  Hospital  No.  5  (the 
Harvard  Unit  of  Boston,  Mass.)  on  the  S.S.  "Saxonia," 
Cunard  Line,  May  n,  1917;  Base  Hospital  No.  2  (the 
Presbyterian  Hospital  Unit  of  New  York  City)  on  the

On  May  28,  1917,  Major  General  John  J.  Pershing, 
U.S.A.,  with  his  staff,  sailed  for  overseas  on  the  S.S.

"Havana" 

With  the  exception  of  the  "Finland"  none  of  these  ship-- 
had ever  been  used  in  the  transatlantic  trade,  but  were, 
with  this  one  exception,  coastwise  vessels  that  had  been 
running  from  New  York  City  to  the  West  Indies,  Gulf 
Coast  and  Mexican  ports,  and  had  been  taken  over  by  the 
Shipping  Control  Committee  for  use  as  Army  transports. 
In  July,  1917,  three  Base  Hospitals,  six  Railway  Engi- 
neer Regiments  and  the  5th,  6th  and  yth  Regiments  of 
Field  Artillery  and  two  detachmetns  of  the  Aviation 
Section,  Signal  Corps  were  sent  overseas.  These  were 
followed  in  August  by  various  organizations  of  the  Regu- 
lar Army  needed  to  complete  the  First  Division.  In 
September  the  first  division  of  the  National  Guard  be 
gan  to  move,  being  the  26th  Division,  comprised  of  troops 
from  the  New  England  States.  The  first  unit  of  the  for- 
mer National  Guard  regiments  to  move  was  the  loist  In- 
fantry, which  sailed  on  the  U.  S.  C.  T.  "H.  R.  Mallory" 
on  September  7,  1917.  This  Division  was  moving  through 
September  and  part  of  October,  together  with  a  large 
number  of  Aviation  Sections  of  the  Signal  Corps,  and 
about  the  middle  of  October  the  42nd  Division  (known 
as  the  Rainbow  Division),  composed  of  former  National 
Guard  troops  from  various  parts  of  the  United  States, 
began  to  move.  From  that  month  until  March,  1918, 
there  was  a  steady  movement  of  Regular  Army  and  Na- 
tional Guard  Divisions  and  various  auxiliary  organiza- 
tions without  any  great  increase  in  the  number  trans- 
ported each  month.  On  March  22,  1918,  the  first  di- 
vision, composed  of  National  Army  troops,  began  to  move 
overseas,  being  the  77th  Division,  made  up  of  drafted 
men  from  New  York  City.  With  the  coming  of  warm 
weather  the  supply  of  ships  was  greatly  augmented  with 
consequent  increase  in  the  number  of  troops  transported, 
and  beginning  with  March  every  succeeding  month  up 
to  and  including  July  showed  an  increase  in  the  number 

14 


WITH        THE        ARMY        AT      'HOBOKEN 

of  troops  transported  over  the  figures  for  the  previous 
month.  During  the  months  of  May,  June,  July  and 
August,  1917,  all  troops  sent  overseas  were  forwarded 
via  the  Port  of  New  York,  but  as  the  result  of  recom- 
mendations made  by  the  Transportation  Division  through 
the  General  Superintendent  and  the  Commanding  Gen- 
eral, authority  was  secured  for  the  use  of  such  space  as 
might  be  available  on  vessels  sailing  from  Canada.  On 
September  16,  1917,  the  first  embarkation  of  American 
troops  from  a  foreign  port  of  an  ally  took  place.  The 
Toand  Infantry,  Field  Hospital  No.  2  and  Ambulance 
Company  No.  2  of  the  26th  Division  being  embarked 
on  the  S.S.  "Canada"  of  the  White  Star  Dominion  Line 
at  Montreal,  Quebec.  Since  that  time  Canadian  ports 
have  been  used  wherever  space  was  available  on  pas- 
senger-carrying vessels,  the  ports  of  Halifax,  N.  S.,  and 
St.  Johns,  N.  B.,  being  used  in  winter  when  the  St. 
Lawrence  River  is  not  navigable.  On  October  16,  1917, 
the  3rd  U.  S.  Cavalry,  being  the  first  troops  sent  from 
Philadelphia,  Pa.,  for  duty  in  Europe,  were  embarked 
on  the  S.S.  "Cleveland."  On  December  24,  1917,  the 
S.S.  "Canada"  of  the  White  Star  Dominion  Line,  which 
had  carried  the  first  troops  from  Montreal,  also  took 
the  first  troops  that  were  embarked  at  Portland,  Maine, 
for  overseas  service  in  this  war.  The  organizations  car- 
ried were  the  4th  Machine  Gun  Battalion;  2nd  Trench 
Mortar  Battery;  and  Evacuation  Hospital  No.  i. 

On  April  13,  1918,  Boston,  Mass.,  was  used  for  the  first 
time  in  this  war  as  an  embarkation  point,  the  i^rd  In- 
fantry Brigade  Headquarters;  the  3o6th  Machine  Gun 
Battalion  being  sent  from  that  port  on  the  S.S.  "Karoa" 
of  the  Cunard  Line.  On  May  26,  1918,  the  first  embarka- 
tion took  place  at  Baltimore,  Md.,  the  3O3rd  Engineers 
being  embarked  at  that  port  on  the  S.S.  "Ajax"  of  the 
Blue  Funnel  Line.  All  of  the  ports  outside  of  New  York 
City,  other  than  Newport  News,  Va.,  still  remain  as  sub- 
ports  of  the  Port  of  Embarkation,  Hoboken,  N.  J.,  and 
are  governed  by  the  Embarkation  Regulations  promul- 
gated by  the  Commanding  General,  Hoboken.

WITH         THE         ARMY         AT         HOBOKEN 

THE  DEVELOPMENT  OF  OUR  TRANSPORT  FLEET 

A  statement  of  the  facts  relative  to  our  transport  re- 
sources at  the  beginning  of  the  war  showed  two  Govern- 
ment owned  ships  on  the  Atlantic  coast  which  were 
equipped  for  the  transportation  of  troops.  These  were 
the  Army  transports  "Buford"  and  "Kilpatrick,"  both 
ships  of  moderate  size.  In  the  years  prior  to  the  war  they 
had  been  used  in  the  carriage  of  troops  to  the  Canal  Zone 
and  U.  S.  Insular  possessions  and  were  consequently 
equipped  to  handle  a  limited  number  of  men. 

This  was  the  beginning  of  a  transport  fleet  now  num- 
bering over  two  hundred  ships  which  are  making  regular 
trips  across  the  Atlantic  in  the  faithful  furtherance  of  our 
plans  to  land  an  army  of  millions  on  the  soil  of  the  Allied 
nations,  within  the  shortest  possible  time.  It  is  true  that 
by  far  the  larger  number  of  these  ships  were  owned  and 
operated  by  our  Allies  as  commercial  transports  but  the 
result  obtained  was  the  same  as  if  the  United  States 
owned  every  one. 

The  ships  actually  operated  by  us  include  about 
twenty  former  German  vessels  owned  by  German  and 
Austrian  interests,  interned  at  various  United  States  ports 
early  in  the  war.  When  these  were  formally  taken  over 
by  the  Government  together  with  the  docks,  piers  and 
appliances  of  German  companies  it  was  found  that  many 
of  them  had  been  damaged  by  their  crews  to  such  an 
extent  that  several  months  were  necessary  to  set  them  all 
in  commission.  For  the  most  part  these  ships  were  placed 
in  active  service  as  troop  ships  during  the  months  of 
August,  September,  October  and  November  of  1917  and 
with  a  few  exceptions  have  since  been  employed  as  trans- 
ports. Such  ships  as  were  taken  over  from  enemy  owners 
were  almost  entirely  used  by  the  German  interests  as  pas- 
senger carrying  vessels  and  have  since  been  fitted  to  carry 
large  numbers  of  troops  at  each  sailing.  They  have  con- 
sequently contributed  largely  to  the  Army  now  in  active 
service  in  France.  These  ships  are  known  as  navy- 
manned  transports  and  are  operated  by  the  United  States 
Navy  as  are  also  an  equal  number  of  American  owned

ships  chartered  by  the  Government  early  in  the  war  for 
use  as  transports.  It  is  an  interesting  fact  that  the  ex- 
German  ships  have  been  operated  more  economically  and 
with  a  smaller  personnel  under  the  U.  S.  Navy  than  they 
were  under  the  German  flag,  despite  the  reputed  German 
efficiency. 

At  the  close  of  the  war  the  Navy  was  operating  forty- 
three  (43)  transports,  all  of  them  fitted  as  such  and 
capable  of  carrying  several  thousand  troops  at  each  trip. 
Added  to  the  Naval  transports  the  Government  has  at  its 
disposal  one  hundred  and  seventy-three  (173)  transat- 
lantic liners,  owned  and  operated  by  Great  Britain, 
France  and  Italy  from  ports  in  the  United  States.  These 
vessels  total  over  a  million  tons  of  shipping  and  made  an 
enviable  record  in  safely  transporting  troops  to  the  sea- 
port cities  of  France,  England  and  Italy.  An  idea  of  the 
efficiency  of  operation  of  the  great  fleet  of  transports  can 
be  gained  from  the  fact  that  a  total  of  nine  hundred  and 
thirty-six  sailings  to  France  and  England  have  been  made 
since  the  United  States  entered  the  war.  Furthermore, 
troops  have  been  carried  on  every  one  of  these  trips. 

In  this  connection  it  is  interesting  and  highly  satisfac- 
tory to  know  that  the  several  former  German  and  Aus- 
trian vessels,  taken  over  by  the  Government  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  war  have  made  a  total  of  198  voyages  carrying 
troops  to  Europe.  As  these  vessels  have  been  properly 
fitted  out  as  transports  and  have  a  large  troop  capacity  it 
can  readily  be  seen  that  they  have  contributed  largely  to 
the  splendid  total  of  men  "over  there." 

MINIMUM  OF  ACCIDENTS 

It  is  a  noteworthy  fact  that  of  the  three  hundred  or 
more  vessels  used  in  the  transportation  of  troops,  less 
than  3  per  cent,  have  been  sunk  and  these  with  a  minimum 
loss  of  life.  In  fact  the  entire  loss  of  life  at  sea  as  the 
result  of  transports  being  sunk  has  been  less  than  <;oo, 
most  of  this  number  having  perished  in  the  "Tuscania" 
sinking  several  months  ago  when  the  facilities  for  effec- 
tively combatting  U-boat  activities  were  not  in  as  high 

20 


WITH         THE         ARMY         AT         HOBOKEN 

state  of  efficiency  as  at  the  close  of  the  war.  In  brief,  the 
loss  of  shipping  has  been  unusally  small  considering  the 
number  of  trips  made  and  the  extraordinary  efforts  ex- 
pended by  the  enemy  to  destroy  or  cripple  our  transport 
fleet.  The  losses  of  transports  during  the  war  were  as 
follows: 

"Tuscania" 

"Moldavia" 

"Dwinsk" 

"President  Lincoln" 

"Covington" 

"Carpathia" 

"Justicia" 

"Otranto" 

"Antilles" 

"Aurania" 

"Audania" 

Of  this  number  the  "Covington"  and  "President  Lin- 
coln" were  formerly  enemy  owned  vessels,  the  remaining 
number  having  been  commercial  or  Allied  transports. 

THE  EMBARKATION  CAMPS 

No  small  amount  of  credit  for  the  wonderful  success 
of  the  Embarkation  Service  is  due  those  in  command  of 
Camp  Merritt,  Camp  Mills  and  Camp  Upton  through 
which  practically  the  entire  number  of  troops  passed 
before  they  arrived  at  the  piers.  These  camps  were 
known  as  "Embarkation  Camps"  and  offered  a  brief 
respite  for  men  and  officers  prior  to  going  overseas.  At 
these  camps  men  were  equipped  for  overseas  duty  and 
made  ready  for  the  long  voyage.  Necessary  records  and 
passenger  list  were  accomplished  here  and  the  men  given 
an  opportunity  to  "see  New  York"  for  a  few  hours  before 
going  to  France.  The.  commanding  officers  of  these 
camps  were  experienced  regular  Army  officers  and  their 
part  in  the  successful  work  of  transporting  troops  will  go 
down  in  the  archives  of  the  War  Department  as  note- 
worthy examples  of  true  efficiency.  Colonel  J.  A.  Mar- 
mon,  now  assistant  chief  of  staff  at  the  Port  of  Embarka 

22 


WITH        THE        ARMY        AT        HOBOKEN 

tion,  was  in  command  of  Camp  Merritt  during  the  busy 
months  of  the  war  and  successfully  arranged  the  passage 
through  the  Camp  of  upward  of  a  million  men.  The 
other  camps  mentioned  handled  a  somewhat  smaller 
number,  but  with  the  same  high  degree  of  efficiency  as 
characterized  Camp  Merritt. 

THE  MEN  WHO  SHIPPED  THEM  OVER 

Owing  to  the  strict  secrecy  in  which  the  above  activities 
were  of  necessity  handled,  little  is  known  in  the  outside 
world  of  how  and  by  whom  the  troops  going  overseas 
were  taken  care  of,  at  the  piers  from  which  they  em- 
barked. 

Now  that  the  ban  has  been  lifted,  it  is  no  longer  a  secret 
that  the  men  who  actually  supervised  the  work,  for  the 
most  part  were  officers  who  "grew  up  with  the  embarka- 
tion service,"  the  personnel  at  the  close  of  hostilities 
being  in  most  cases  the  same  as  at  the  beginning  of  the 
heavy  troop  movements.  There  were,  of  necessity,  many 
different  branches  of  service  represented  in  this  work  of 
shipping  troops.  There  was  the  Depot  Quartermaster 
who  placed  rations  aboard  ships  for  use  as  a  debarkation 
ration  in  France  and  England;  the  Transportation  divi- 
sion which  arranged  the  railroad  schedules  which 
brought  troops  to  such  camps  as  Merritt,  Upton  and 
Mills  and  from  there  direct  to  the  piers  where  they  were 
to  embark;  the  personnel  division  under  Major  J.  Perry 
Moore,  and  later  Captain  C.  F.  Itzen,  which  checked 
each  man  aboard  the  ship  and  ascertained  if  such  men 
were  properly  represented  by  the  necessary  records;  the 
Medical  Corps,  whose  representatives  examined  each 
man  physically  before  going  aboard  the  ship  to  insure  that 
no  man  or  officer  not  physically  fit  for  foreign  service 
got  on  the  ship;  the  Quartermaster  division  that  directed 
the  men  to  their  proper  gangplanks  and  positions  on  the 
ships;  the  mail  and  baggage  divisions  whose  duties  are 
obvious;  and  last  but  by  no  means  least,  the  Chaplain's 
office  whose  men  were  always  on  hand  to  insure  the  little 
comforts  and  desires  of  the  men.  In  this  connection,  I

wish  to  speak  especially  of  Chaplain  John  T.  Axton 
(Major  U.  S.  A.),  who  as  Port  Chaplain  directed  the 
work  of  thirty- two  separate  and  distinct  welfare  organi- 
zations from  his  headquarters  at  the  Port  of  Embarkation. 
Chaplain  Axton  is  not  only  a  big  man  physically,  but 
holds  what  is  generally  conceded  to  be  the  biggest  job 
held  by  any  chaplain  in  the  entire  United  States  Army. 
He  is  beloved  by  all,  officers  and  men  alike,  and  his  good 
natured  smile  has  cheered  many  a  homesick  boy  as  he 
embarked  to  go  overseas.  Perhaps  one  of  the  most  inter- 
esting bits  of  Chaplain  Axton's  numerous  duties  was  that 
of  tying  the  knot  which  married  many  lovesick  soldiers, 
marines  and  sailors  before  they  embarked  for  France.  It 
is  an  interesting  fact  that  the  chaplain's  office  has  per- 
formed as  high  as  thirty-five  marriages  in  a  single  twenty- 
four  hour  day,  frequently  tying  a  half  dozen  couples  at 
the  same  time. 

THE  WELFARE  WORKERS 

No  story  of  the  embarkation  service  would  be  complete 
without  mention  of  the  great  service  performed  by  the 
canteen  service  of  the  Red  Cross,  the  Y.  M.  C.  A.,  the 
Knights  of  Columbus,  Salvation  Army  and  Jewish 
Welfare  Board.  These  patriotic  women  and  men  were 
ever  present  when  troops  were  being  shipped  and  gave 
out  in  addition  to  good  coffee,  rolls,  cigarettes  and  "safe 
arrival"  cards,  many  words  of  good  cheer  to  those  who 
were  going  over  to  fight  our  battles.  These  workers  were 
"Angels  of  Mercy"  in  the  truest  sense  of  the  word  and 
rendered  service  "over  here"  which  was  just  as  important 
as  if  they  had  been  working  in  France.  They  did  their 
bit  with  a  vengeance  and  were  always  on  the  job  with 
coffee  and  buns,  many  times  hours  before  the  average 
citizen  had  thought  of  getting  up  for  the  day.  Their 
work  will  never  be  forgotten  by  those  officers  and  men 
who  worked  side  by  side  with  them  during  the  long 
months  of  the  war  when  thousands  of  troops  were  being 
shipped  daily.

WITH        THE        ARMY        AT        HOBOKEN 


THE  SHIPPING  CONTROL  COMMITTEE 

PERHAPS  one  of  the  most  potent  factors  in  the  suc- 
cessful shipment  of  the  Army  to  France,  was  the 
service  performed  by  the  Shipping  Control  Com- 
mittee under  P.  S.  A.  Franklin,  President  of  the 
International    Mercantile    Marine.      Mr.    Franklin    or- 
ganized an  office  which  not  only  obtained  ships  for  the 
transportation  of  troops  and  supplies,  but  in  many  cases 
altered  them  to  suit  the  needs  of  troop  carriers.     The 
Committee,   which   had   in   its  membership,   many   big 
business  men  of  the  day,  was  organized  early  in  the  war 
and   functioned   efficiently  and  with   invaluable  service 
throughout  the  conflict. 

It  was  the  Shipping  Control  Committee  which  first 
took  over  the  giant  "Leviathan,"  then  the  Hamburg- 
American  "Vaterland"  and  many  other  ships  after  the 
German  and  Austrian  crews  had  been  removed  by  United 
States  regulars  of  the  22nd  Infantry  and  it  was  the  same 
organization  that  arranged  with  owners  the  details  of  tak- 
ing over  cargo  carriers,  scores  of  which  were  in  serv- 
ice when  the  war  came  to  a  close.  The  service  rendered 
by  the  Committee  has  been  much  too  extensive  to  cover 
in  this  limited  paragraph,  but  suffice  to  say  that  its  work 
has  been  exceptionally  valuable  in  the  gigantic  machine 
of  troop  shipping  efficiency  and  among  the  great  accom- 
plishments of  the  war. 

A  high  ranking  Army  Officer  said  recently  of  Mr. 
Franklin,  "This  gentleman,  in  my  opinion,  contributed 
more  to  the  work  incidental  to  the  transportation  of  sol- 
diers to  France  than  any  other  individual."

THE  CRUISER  AND  TRANSPORT  FORCE 

In  passing,  mention  should  made  of  the  Cruiser  and 
Transport  Force,  which  actually  transported  with  safety 
about  forty  per  cent  of  the  army  which  reached  France. 
Shortly  after  the  beginning  of  the  war  this  force  was  or- 
ganized as  a  branch  of  the  Atlantic  Fleet,  and  the  record 
;t  has  made  will  ever  be  one  of  the  most  brilliant  chapters 
of  the  war. 

Starting  with  a  few  vessels  taken  over  from  the  enemy 
interests  the  navy  now  operates  over  one  hundred  ships, 
engaged  in  the  carriage  of  troops  from  France.  These 
include  several  large  German  ships  which  escaped  intern- 
ment at  the  beginning  of  the  war  and  which  have  laid  idle 
at  their  Hamburg  or  Bremen  piers  during  the  conflict, 
among  them  the  giant  Imperator,  Kaiserin  Augusta  Vic- 
toria and  many  others  whose  tonnage  is  making  it  possible 
for  thousands  of  soldiers  to  get  home  at  an  early  date.  The 
navy  is  operating  these  ships  economically  and  with  an 
efficiency  which  is  daily  adding  glory  to  the  flag  of  the 
Cruiser  and  Transport  Force. 

The  relation  of  the  officers  and  men  of  the  Cruiser  and 
Transport  Force  to  the  Army  personnel  detailed  to  duty 
in  connection  with  the  shipment  of  troops,  has  been  one 
of  earnest  and  willing  cooperation — without  which  the 
Herculean  feat  of  sending  a  large  army  to  France  would 
have  been  impossible. 

In  this  brief  chapter  dedicated  to  the  Cruiser  and 
Transport  Force  allow  me  to  express  an  appreciation  of 
Vice  Admiral  Cleaves,  Commanding  Officer,  Cruiser  and 
Transport  Force,  Captain  Casey  B.  Morgan,  Captain  D. 
W.  Blamier,  Commander  Gill  and  others  whose  ready  as-  4 

sistance  has  contributed  greatly  to  the  remarkable  record 
of  troop  shipments. 

After  the  signing  of  the  armistice,  the  Cruiser  and 
Transport  Force  was  materially  augmented  with  many 
Jarge  ships  which  are  daily  disgorging  thousands  of 
American  soldiers  on  the  soil  of  their  native  land.  And 
when  it  is  all  over  and  every  United  States  soldier  has 

30 


SCENES  AT  HOBOKEN 


WITH        THE        ARMY        AT        HOBOKEN 

been  returned  safely  to  God's  country,  fully  ninety  per 
cent  of  them  will  thank  the  navy  for  helping  them  on 
the  last  lap  of  their  great  adventure. 

THE  SIGNING  OF  THE  ARMISTICE 

Up  to  the  day  prior  to  the  actual  signing  of  the  armis- 
tice, troop  movements  had  continued.  On  that  day  sev- 
eral thousand  soldiers  had  been  placed  aboard  transports 
at  Bush,  New  York  and  Hoboken  piers  in  readiness  for 
the  big  adventure. 

Despite  this  usual  activity  there  was  an  indescribable 
something  in  the  air  which  precluded  the  sailing  of  the 
men  aboard  ships  in  the  harbor.  No  word  had  come  from 
Washington,  no  order  relative  to  an  armistice  had  been 
received — yet  everyone  intuitively  felt  that  the  war  was 
soon  to  be  over.  Perhaps  it  was  the  Austrian  crash  of  a 
couple  of  days  before,  perhaps  the  false  peace  note  of  No- 
vember 9th,  perhaps  something  else,  but  the  fact  that  all 
men  and  officers  at  the  port  of  embarkation  sensed  the  im- 
pending downfall  of  the  German  empire  was  a  truth  in- 
deed, a  truth  so  real  and  yet  so  undeveloped  that  its  power 
placed  all  in  a  peculiar  mental  state  which  gave  way  un- 
der the  stress  of  anxiety  when  orders  came  to  debark  all 
combatant  troops  and  send  them  back  to  the  camps  from 
whence  they  came.  Later  on  that  night  direct  informa- 
tion of  the  armistice  was  received  and  the  next  morning 
at  eleven  the  momentous  event  took  place. 

The  day  was  one  long  to  be  remembered.  Every  har- 
bor boat  whistle  shrieked  at  the  top  of  its  voice!  Over 
in  Brooklyn,  New  York,  Staten  Island  and  in  Jersey, 
sirens  and  factory  bells  added  their  full  strength  to  the 
joyous  din;  transports  lying  at  the  piers  ordered  their 
bands  out;  in  fact  everything  and  everyone  possessed  of 
the  power  to  make  a  noise,  however  feeble,  joined  in  the 
joyful  jazz.  Discordant  though  it  was  the  ensemble 
seemed  to  merge  into  one  great  croon  of  delight  over  the 

32 


U  c 
o 


WITH        THE        ARMY        AT        HOBOKEN 

impending  days  of  peace  and  happiness  which  were  soon 
to  spread  over  the  world. 

So  far  as  was  practicable,  all  officers,  field  clerks  and 
other  personnel  were  allowed  the  afternoon  off,  that  they 
might  add  their  bit  to  the  great  demonstration  which  was 
even  then  taking  place,  seemingly  a  monstrous  hangover 
from  the  false  peace  of  two  days  before. 

GETTING  THEM   BACK 

The  next  day  the  reconstruction  period  began.  Wash- 
ington issued  orders  right  and  left  covering  the  various 
phases  of  the  work  at  the  port.  Hoboken  literally 
changed  overnight  from  the  greatest  jumping  off  place 
of  American  soldiers  to  the  greatest  landing  point.  New 
regulations  were  drawn  up,  new  guard  orders  issued. 
The  general  order  of  events  as  we  have  known  them  werj 
entirely  reversed  in  readiness  for  the  big  return  of  ship- 
ments. 

On  December  2,  1918,  just  twenty-two  days  from  the 
signing  of  the  armistice,  the  first  returning  troops  reached 
America  on  the  S.S.  "Mauretania."  Everyone  cut  loose 
again  and  honored  the  returning  troops,  even  though 
practically  all  those  on  the  ship  had  never  been  nearer 
the  firing  line  than  England,  some  of  them  having  spent 
but  thirteen  days  in  that  country.  Everything  was  en- 
thusiasm, delight  and  happiness  yet  those  of  us  who  had 
fought  the  war  at  Hoboken  could  not  but  feel  that  a 
corking  good  war  had  been  literally  drawn  from  under 
us. 

Since  that  date  the  line  of  returning  troopships  has 
increased  with  each  week  until  at  the  present  time  nearly 
three  hundred  thousand  men  are  returning  monthly.  In 
time  they  will  all  be  back,  but  until  such  time  Hoboken 
will  remain  as  a  United  States  Government  port  and  con- 
tinue to  efficiently  discharge  the  gigantic  tasks  which  is 
only  the  ending  of  the  job  of  jobs  which  she  undertook 
early  in  the  war.

THE  HOBOKEN  FRONT 

While  it  is  a  source  of  deep  regret  to  have  done  your 
fighting  in  the  United  States,  it  may  be  here  stated  that 
in  fully  ninety-nine  cases  out  of  a  hundred,  the  officers  and 
men  who  were  detailed  for  embarkation  service  would 
much  rather  have  taken  their  chances  among  their 
brothers  in  the  trenches  of  Flanders.  In  fact,  so  many 
applications  for  overseas  service  were  made  by  officers 
at  Hoboken,  that  an  official  order  from  headquarters  was 
necessary  to  put  a  stop  to  it. 

To  many  ill-informed  people  our  service  was  mediocre 
—and  it  was — if  bullets  and  machine  guns  and  cannons 
and  battlefields  and  many  other  sides  of  actual  combat 
concert  to  make  a  war,  but  to  one  who  makes  an  intelli- 
gent analysis  of  the  conflict  it  is  clear  that  this  war  could 
be  likened  to  a  great  spectacle  in  which  all  the  armies 
with  their  millions  of  soldiers  were  the  players,  each 
assigned  his  part,  and  in  this  great  drama  the  Port  of 
Embarkation  cannot  but  be  assigned  to  a  principal  role. 

Especially  critical  has  been  the  public  in  relation  to 
the  officers  of  the  Staff  Corps  assigned  here  for  duty  and 
in  answer  it  is  my  desire  to  pay  a  tribute  to  the  Quarter 
master,  A.  G.  O.,  Medical  and  other  Staff  Officers  as- 
signed to  this  port.  A  great  many  of  these  were  men  who, 
in  civil  life  were  prominent  in  business,  science  and  let- 
ters, and  who  through  their  particular  executive  ability 
were  commissioned  in  the  staff.  With  few  exceptions  the 
men  so  commissioned  and  detailed  for  duty  here  are  gen- 
tlemen whom  I  have  considered  it  an  honor  to  know  and 
of  whom  I  shall  always  retain  pleasant  recollections. 
They  did  their  work  well  and  efficiently  as  the  records 
in  Washington  eloquently  attest,  and  if  they  lacked  in 
some  of  the  elements  of  military  training  it  failed  to 
detract  from  their  efficiency  at  this  port.  A  well  known 
regular  army  officer  once  paid  a  tribute  to  officers  of  the 
staff  in  the  following  words:  "To  the  man  behind  the 
desk,  who,  being  away  from  the  excitement  of  battle,  is 
usually  denied  popular  favor,  yet  who  clothes,  feeds,  pays, 
shelters,  transports  and  otherwise  looks  after  the  man 

38 


WITH        THE        ARM   Y        AT        HOBOKEN 

behind  the  gun,  whose  health,  comfort,  contentment  and 
success  often  depend  on  the  less  spectacular  though  no 
less  important  work  of  'The  man  behind  the  desk.' '  That 
quotation  briefly  tells  the  story  of  the  staff  officers  and 
every  fair  minded  man  will  concur  in  tribute. 

It  was  very  much  against  their  wishes  to  be  "in- 
terned" in  the  United  States  when  their  friends  were  real- 
ty in  the  big  show  over  in  France,  but  those  who  served 
at  the  greatest  port  of  embarkation,  may  well  be  proud 
of  the  record  of  their  office;  and  although  they  will  have 
little  of  the  glamour  and  excitement  of  real  warfare  to 
tell  their  grandchildren  in  the  vears  to  come,  they  can 
speak  up  without  shame  and  say,  "I  was  one  of  those 
who  helped  to  ship  them  over  in  1917-1918  and  bring 
them  back  when  the  war  was  won." 

THE  FIRST  TROOPS  TO  GO 

Among  those  who  witnessed  the  embarkation  of  the  first 
troops  from  the  Port  of  New  York  after  the  Declaration 
of  War  in  1917,  was  Lieutenant  A.  Riedell,  Jr.,  Q.  M.  C., 
who  has  written  the  following  excellent  story  concerning 
ihat  historic  movement.  Lieutenant  Riedell  is  still  a 
member  of  this  command  and  consequently  knows  where- 
of he  speaks. 

"Philosophers  have  said  that  the  wise  man  is  the  one 
who  can  change  his  mind  when  he  finds  that  he  has  made 
a  mistake. 

"In  a  castle  in  Amerongen,  Holland,  there's  a  man  who 
has  changed  his  mind  about  a  lot  of  things  lately.  He 
has  found  that  he  made  a  number  of  serious  mistakes— 
that  things  didn't  turn  out  quite  the  way  he  expected  them 
to.  He's  changed  his  mind  about  most  everything,  but 
that  doesn't  prove  that  he  is  a  wise  man. 

"For  example,  Kaiser  William  thought  that  the  United 
States  would  not  go  into  the  war.  He  thought  that  we 
did  not  have  an  army  and  that  we  could  not  raise  one. 
Then,  again,  he  thought  that  if  we  did  raise  an  army,  we 
could  not  get  it  across  the  seas  and  through  his  line  of 
pirate  submarines.

men  who  saw  to  it  that  that  army  arrived  in  France. 

"William  had  said  thatwe  wouldn'tdare  todeclare  war, 
but  on  April  6,  1917,  war  was  declared.  That  same  day 
the  German  Imperial  Government  felt  our  first  blow. 
Lying  at  Hoboken,  New  Jersey,  were  the  interned  ships 
that  had  been  built  by  Germany  against  that  'Day'  when 
those  ships  would  carry  millions  of  troops  to  British 
shores.  Had  they  been  successful  there,  those  same  ships 
would  have  set  their  courses  for  America,  to  land  the 
gray  uniformed  Prussians  in  America.  There  was  the 
great  Vaterland  built  by  Germany  to  transport  12,000 
troops.  German  plans  now  in  the  possession  of  our  Gov- 
ernment show  that  these  troops  would  have  slept  in  relays 
of  8,000 — working  four  shifts  while  at  sea.  Other  ships, 
the  Neckar,  Von  Steuben,  Martha  Washington,  George 
Washington,  President  Lincoln,  Prinz  Eitel  Friederich, 
Kaiser  Wilhelm  der  Grosse  lay  interned  in  American 
ports. 

"Within  a  few  hours  after  the  word  of  war  had  been 
flashed  from  Washington,  a  detachment  of  troops  had  left 
the  Headquarters  of  the  Department  of  the  East  at  Gov- 
ernor's Island  to  take  over  these  vessels.  The  great  docks 
of  the  Hamburg-American  Line,  the  Norde  Deutsche 
Lloyde  at  Hoboken  had  always  been  a  hotbed  of  sedition 
and  of  Prussianism.  The  interned  German  sailors,  idle 
on  their  ships,  had  led  plots  against  this  country.  But  a 
few  hours  changed  all  this.  The  German  crews  were 
seized  as  enemy  aliens,  and  shipped  to  Ellis  Island, 
whence  they  were  taken,  as  prisoners  of  war,  to  a  Southern 
camp.  Officers  inspecting  the  ships  found  that,  in  the 
attempt  to  prevent  us  from  using  their  vessels  they  had 
practically  wrecked  the  ships.  Boilers  were  smashed, 
tubes  salted.  Feed  lines  were  changed  about — the  vast 
complicated  machinery  was  apparently  hopelessly  dis- 
torted. A  few  hours  more  and  the  greatest  engineers  of 
the  country  were  at  work  on  these  same  engines,  trans- 
forming them,  and  in  many  cases  so  improving  them  by

the  alterations  that  they  were  able  to  make  better  speed 
than  under  their  German  command. 

"Within  two  months  these  ships  were  ready  to  sail  for 
Germany,  bearing  the  first  convoy  of  American  troops 
abroad. 

"The  story  of  the  A.  E.  F.  and  the  convoying  of  over 
2,000,000  men  to  Europe  is  the  story  of  another  and  a 
greater  crusade  than  that  of  Richard  Coeur  de  Leon  or 
his  Knights  who  went  Eastward  to  the  Holy  Land  five 
hundred  years  ago.  It  is  the  story  of  a  crusade  of  democ- 
racy— a  crusade  that  will  stand  as  the  greatest  in  history. 
But  back  of  the  story  of  the  2,000,000  fighters,  back  of 
the  transports  and  the  convoying  destroyers,  is  the  story 
of  the  men  who  put  them  through.  There  is  little  of  the 
glamour  of  war  here,  and  little  of  the  music  and  the 
cheers.  But  there  is  a  great  romance,  the  romance  that  we 
find  in  every  great  work  well  done.  It  is  routine,  endless 
labor,  reports,  papers  and  drudgery — but  without  it  the 
fine  organization  and  the  fine  work  of  the  A.  E.  F.  fighters 
would  have  been  impossible. 

"The  first  step  in  the  organization  of  the  Port  of  Debar- 
kation forces  was  on  Saturday,  June  9,  1917.  On  this  day, 
Colonel  Carson,  Captain  Cabell,  Captain  Shelton,  Cap- 
tain Powers,  Captain  Ruddell  and  Mr.  Frank  Czieslik 
came  to  Hoboken  to  make  arrangements  for  the  first 
convoy.  It  was  a  new  job,  and  a  big  job.  No  one  quite 
knew  what  the  work  would  be,  or  how  it  would  be  done. 
There  was  just  one  motto — 'Do  it.'  Early  in  the  after- 
noon the  detail  came  over  on  a  tug  and  landed  at  Pier  No. 
i,  beginning  work  immediately.  Almost  simultaneously 
the  first  of  the  troops  arrived.  Hoboken,  a  few  days 
before  the  first  German  city  in  America,  became  a  great 
army  camp.  Khaki-clad  regulars  overran  the  town. 
Veterans  of  the  Border,  the  Filipino  campaigns  and  the 
days  in  Cuba  oiled  their  Springfields  and  talked  of  the 
big  scrap  that  was  coming  'over  there.'  In  their  summer 
O.  D.,  their  now  old  fashioned  campaign  hats,  their  trim 
leggins  and  sharp  regulation  appearance,  they  bore  little 
resemblance  to  the  newly  equipped  men  who  later

came  through  the  Port.  They  were  sent  at  once  into  rest 
billets  to  prepare  for  the  voyage.  There  were  the  men 
of  the  1 6th,  1 8th,  26th  and  28th  Infantry  Regiments  of  the 
Regular  Army.  Their  Senior  Officer  was  Major  General 
Siebert  who  has  since  established  the  record  of  his  fight- 
ing forces. 

"Along  River  Street,  where  the  old  Bock  beer  signs  of 
the  German. occupation  still  marked  the  Deutsche  Gar- 
tens and  Kursaals,  tramped  the  men  of  San  Antonio  and 
the  Rio  Grande.  Fat  German  saloonkeepers  and  the 
fraus  and  frauleins  looked  askance  at  this  new  invasion. 
Their  Kaiser  had  said  that  America  would  never  enter 
the  war — that  troops  would  never  sail  the  seas;  and  now, 
only  a  few  weeks  after  our  declaration  of  hostilities,  an 
army  was  in  motion.  Something  was  wrong  in  the  firm 
of  'Me  and  Gott.'  At  first  the  men  were  held  in  their 
troops  trains  at  the  Jersey  City  yards,  but  they  were  soon 
brought  into  town.  So  silently  and  so  efficiently  was  the 
work  done  that  few  of  the  millions  across  the  river  knew 
that  the  Eastward  tide  of  American  soldiers  had  begun. 

"It  was  a  new  game,  and  the  rules  were  not  yet  made. 
There  was  just  one  order  of  the  day — 'get  the  troops  on.1 
Alongside  the  dock  of  the  Hamburg  Americkaner  Line 
lay  the  transports.  Jamming  the  gangway,  burdened 
with  overseas  gear,  strange  new  weapons  and  accoutre- 
ments, tired  after  their  long  trans-continental  ride  on  hot 
troop  trains,  the  regulars  arrived.  They  were  shoved  into 
below  deck  compartments,  berths  were  hastily  assigned 
and  with  the  out-tide  the  vessels  put  to  sea. 

"There  was  none  of  the  glamour  and  the  glory  of  war 
in  their  going.  No  crowds  lined  the  Battery  Sea  and  no 
bands  and  Citizen's  Committees  sped  them  on  their  way. 
These  men  were  the  Regulars — the  U.  S.  A. — they  were 
fighting  men,  and  they  were  going  to  fight.  Silently  the 
big  transports  were  warped  out  of  their  docks,  and  silently 
they  put  to  sea.  Perhaps  along  the  Staten  Island  Hills 
home-coming  commuters  wondered  as  the  big  gray  ships

slipped  through  the  Narrows  to  sea.  No  doubt  the  tug- 
boat captains  wondered  as  a  line  of  lightless  ships  dropped 
down  the  long  causeway  of  Ambrose  Channel  and  put  off 
their  pilots  at  the  lightship.  Perhaps  the  next  morning, 
far  at  sea,  the  off-shore  fishing  boats  drew  up  their  nets 
to  watch  as  the  great  convoy,  guarded  by  destroyers,  came 
up  over  the  western  rim  of  the  sea. 

"But  back  in  the  city  none  knew  of  their  going.  The 
6,000,000  people  of  New  York  little  guessed  that  Amer- 
ica's job  of  smashing  the  Imperial  Government  of  Ger- 
many had  already  begun. 

"Possibly  that's  the  waythatthebestwork  in  their  world 
is  done,  after  all  is  said  and  over  with.  It  isn't  the  cheer- 
ing or  the  bands  and  street  parades  that  win  a  war — it 
isn't  the  songs,  or  the  martial  music  or  the  waving  of  flags 
in  club  windows — it's  just  the  silent,  steady  relentless 
drive  of  men  who  are  determined  that  when  they  have 
begun  a  job  they  will  finish  that  job  or  die. 

"That  was  the  spirit  of  the  American  soldier.  He  had 
begun  a  dirty  job  and  he  was  going  to  see  it  through:  he 
wasn't  going  to  yell,  or  cheer  or  boast — he  was  going  to 
settle  down  to  the  job,  and  stay  with  it  till  the  job  was 
finished. 

"And  perhaps,  too,  that  has  been  the  spirit  of  the  men  of 
the  Port  of  Debarkation,  who,  for  two  years,  have  stuck  by 
the  job  of  getting  the  troops  across.  There  were  jobs  that 
had  more  glory,  and  jobs  that  got  more  praise.  There  was 
fun  and  excitement  and  the  job  of  battle  to  those  who 
fought  along  the  Flanders  line,  but  behind  them  stood  the 
array  of  communications  the  men  who  kept  the  railheads 
going  forward,  the  troop  trains  moving  on. 

"This  is  the  story  of  the  first  convoy.  They  are  the  men 
who  began  the  job,  and  those  who  came  after  finished  it. 
And  now  that  the  war  is  over  and  the  men  are  coming 
home — it's  the  Port  of  Debarkation — but  the  job  is  just 
the  same.  Names  may  come  and  names  may  go,  but  the 
work  goes  on  forever."

A  TRIBUTE  FROM  THE  PRESS 

After  the  signing  of  the  Armistice  the  censorship  on 
pictures  and  news  relating  to  the  activities  at  the  Port  of 
Embarkation  was  lifted,  and  many  are  the  excellent  news 
stories  which  have  appeared  in  the  public  prints  concern- 
ing this  port  since  that  date.  Lack  of  space  prohibits  the 
publication  of  these  fine  tributes,  but  with  a  view  to  giv- 
ing a  general  idea  of  the  excellence  of  some  of  them, 
the  following  is  reprinted  from  the  New  York  Evening 
World.  This  story  was  also  published  in  The  Literary 
Digest  of  March. 

"SILVER    STRIPERS"    WON    WAR     IN    HOBOKEN    BY 

SENDING  OVER  TWO   MILLION   FIGHTERS   TO 

BEND  AND  BREAK  THE  HINDENBURG  LINE 


Bovs  WITH  GOLD  CHEVRONS  MAY  LAUGH,  BUT  MEN  OF 

KMIJAKKATIOX  SERVICE,  UNSUNG  AND  UNDECORATED, 

PERFORMED  MARVELS  AND  EARNED  RIGHT  To 

BE  ACCLAIMED  WAR  HEROES. 

From  the  New  York  Evening  World. 

Oh,  we're  only  silver-stripers, 
And  we  never  fought  at  Wipers, 
And  we  never  heard  the  roaring  of  the  guns; 
With  a  desk  and  phone  and  chair 
We  couldn't  win  the  Croix  de  Guerre, 
But  we  shipped  two  million  men  to  beat  the  Huns. 
—Songs  of  the  Swivel  Chair. 

The  boys  with  the  golden  chevrons  give  them  the  laugh 
-these  officers  and  men  who  go  about  sporting  the  color- 
less silver  stripes. 

They  think  they're  "bunk"  heroes,  rocking-chair  sol- 
diers, too  proud  to  fight — and  a  lot  of  other  things. 

Over  in  Hoboken  these  silver  stripers  abound,  most  of 
them  officers  and  practically  all  physically  fit  for  service 
overseas.  All  but  few  of  them  wear  three  chevrons 
(silver)  denoting  a  year  and  a  half  in  service.

They  are  the  men  of  Uncle  Sam's  Embarkation  Serv- 
ice, unsung,  uncheered  and  undecorated. 

When  the  men  of  the  A.  E.  F.  were  winning  undying 
glory  at  the  Marne,  Chateau-Thierry,  St.  Mihiel  and  the 
Argonne,  these  silver-stripers  were  interned  on  the  Hobo- 
ken  shores. 

Instead  of  kicking  holes  in  the  Hindenburg  Line,  they 
were  home  manipulating  troop  trains,  ships  and  men, 
often  working  twenty-four  hours  a  day  in  order  to  keep 
unbroken  the  khaki  stream  that  flowed  eastward  to  the 
coast  of  France. 

The  war  record  of  the  Embarkation  Service  is  some- 
thing one  seldom  hears  about.  The  names  of  its  members 
seldom  got  into  the  papers,  they  never  killed  Germans,  no 
brilliant  war  medals  dangled  from  their  obscure  bosoms 
—and  they  wore  silver  chevrons. 

Now  what  romance  can  one  possibly  attach  to  a  silver 
chevron? 

Answer:    None  whatever. 

However,  the  achievements  of  this  invisible  and  unsung 
a-rmy  are  slowly  winning  recognition  and  approval  in 
Washington. 

Recognition  From  the  Secretary  of  War 

The  first  sign  of  this  came  a  few  days  ago  when  Secre- 
tary of  War  Baker  announced  that  Major  Gen.  David  C. 
Shanks,  commanding  officer  of  the  Port  of  Embarkation, 
had  been  awarded  the  Distinguished  Service  Medal. 

The  official  citation  reached  the  Port  of  Embarkation 
—or  debarkation,  as  it  is  now  called — in  Hoboken  last 
night.  It  read  as  follows: 

Major  Gen.  D.  C.  Shanks,  U.  S.  A.,  is  awarded  the 
Distinguished  Service  Medal  for  especially  meritorious 
and  conspicuous  service  in  the  administration  of  the  Port 
of  Embarkation,  Hoboken,  N.  J.,  in  connection  with  the 
shipment  of  troops  overseas. 

The  Evening  World  learned  today  from  a  reliable 
source  that  other  decorations  will  soon  be  filtering

Troops  In  Yard  At  Hoboken 


WITH         T    H    E'ARMY         AT         HOBO    KEN 

through  from  Washington  in  the  general  direction  of 
Hoboken.  A  wireless  runner  to  this  effect  had  reached 
the  Embarkation  Service  yesterday,  but  no  one  could  be 
found  who  would  admit  that  he  knew  where  it  came  from. 

The  men  of  the  Embarkation  Service,  from  Major  Gen. 
Shanks  and  Brigadier  Gen.  McManus  down  to  the  sol- 
diers who  guard  the  gates  to  the  piers,  are  slow  to  admit 
that  they  have  played  a  great  part  in  the  war,  but  they 
cheerfully  admit  that  they  got  no  nearer  the  fighting  front 
than  the  gangway  of  a  transport. 

"The  work  had  to  be  done  by  somebody,  I  suppose," 
said  Captain  King  W.  Snell,  aide  to  Gen.  McManus,  who 
is  troop  movement  officer.  "Otherwise  the  1.795.411 
officers,  men  and  nurses  shipped  to  France  by  the  Em- 
barkation Service  might  still  be  waiting  for  transporta- 
tion. But  hell,  who  wants  to  be  interned  in  Hoboken 
when  the  main  show  is  three  or  four  thousand  miles  away? 
It  was  like  standing  outside  the  big  tent  and  punching 
tickets  to  a  three-ringed  circus.  We  worked  like  dogs  and 
never  got  a  chance  to  see  the  main  performance." 

This  attitude  would  probably  be  found  to  be  that  of 
the  2,400  officers  and  24,000  enlisted  men  engaged  in  the 
Embarkation  Service. 

They  are  all  glad  to  have  been  able  to  do  their  bit,  but 
most  of  them  look  at  their  silver  chevrons  and  feel  that 
they've  been  cheated  out  of  something. 

Some  of  the  Figures  of  a  Proud  Record 

During  the  entire  period  of  embarkation  from  May, 
1917,  to  November,  1918,  the  average  number  of  Amer- 
ican soldiers  placed  daily  on  French  soil  was  3,500. 

In  a  single  day — the  last  day  of  August,  1918 — 46,214 
doughboys  were  shipped  out  of  the  Port  of  New  York. 
This  is  claimed  as  the  world's  record  for  a  single  day's 
shipment  of  troops. 

The  figures  for  the  previous  month,  July,  are  held  by 
the  Port  of  Embarkation  Service  to  constitute  another 
world's  record  in  troop  transportation,  In  this  month

268,117  officers  and  men  were  put  aboard  vessels  and  sent 
overseas  by  the  Embarkation  Service. 

This  was  the  highest  number  reached  during  the  period 
of  the  war.  The  number  of  men  shipped  to  France  had 
steadily  increased  from  May,  1917,  when  the  figures  for 
the  month  were  only  1,543. 

It  required  936  sailings  to  transport  a  sufficient  number 
of  troops  to  France  to  win  the  war.  These  sailings  were 
carried  out  by  307  vessels,  108  of  them  being  naval,  182 
commercial  and  17  Allied  transports. 

At  the  Port  of  Embarkation  in  Hoboken  it  is  declared 
that  the  work  of  fitting  these  vessels  out  as  transports  was 
done  entirely  by  the  army  instead  of  by  the  navy,  as  has 
been  generally  believed. 

The  Embarkation  Service  points  with  pride  to  the  work 
done  by  the  army  in  building  up  a  transport  fleet. 

Major  Gen.  Shanks  has  served  as  commanding  officer 
of  the  port  of  embarkation  practically  through  the  war. 
The  officers  who  have  served  with  him  and  with  Brigadier 
Gen.  McManus  are  men  who  have  grown  up  with  the 
Embarkaion  Service,  the  personnel  having  changed  very 
little  since  the  declaration  of  the  war. 

Brigadier  Gen.  McManus  and  Col.  John  Robertson 
are  heads  of  the  Troop  Movement  Office  of  the  port  of 
embarkation,  under  them  being  thirty  line  officers,  sev- 
eral of  whom  are  West  Point  graduates. 

The  same  efficiency  that  marked  the  shipment  of  the 
A.  E.  F.  overseas  is  characterizing  its  return.  Three  hun- 
dred thousand  doughboys  have  already  been  landed  from 
"over  there." 

The  .smoothness  and  rapidity  with  \vhich  the  debarka- 
tion officers  work  were  demonstrated  a  few  days  ago  when 
the  naval  transport  Leviathan  docked  in  Hoboken  with 
12,500  troops  and  equipment. 

In  less  than  three  hours  after  this  giant  liner  tied  up 
there  wasn't  a  doughboy  or  scrap  of  equipment  in  sight. 
The  entire  outfit  had  been  entrained  and  was  on  its  way 
to  camp.
